A mechanism that is effective in maintaining a normal glomerular blood pressure only if the systemic mean arterial pressure remains between 80 and 180 mm hg is called renal autoregulation.
<h3>What is renal autoregulation?</h3>
Autoregulation is the inner characteristic of blood vessels present in end organs, like heart, kidney, and mind, by which they dilate or constrict in response to pressure changes, thus help to keep the blood flow generally steady.
Usually our body tries to regulate our blood pressure in range of 50 to 150 mm Hg.
Regulation of renal blood flow and glomerular blood pressure in kidneys is called renal autoregulation.
There are 3 mechanisms of renal blood flow namely myogenic response (MR), tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) and third mechanism that is independent of TGF but slower than MR.
Both the pathways produce energy for the cell, where Glycolysis is the breakdown of a molecule of glucose to yield two molecules of pyruvate, whereas Kreb cycle is the process where acetyl CoA, produces citrate by adding its carbon acetyl group to oxaloacetate.
